Trajectory 2: entangled curves

However, Xu Fei didn't seem to care about her self-awareness: "This character is very suitable for you. Hahaha, not bad. It can be considered a blessing in disguise for me."

Zhuge Qinuo was embarrassed by the compliment. As a mature woman, she stopped pretending to be a little girl. She pondered for a while: "If things are going to develop like this, why not try it? Isn't it a life experience? Since even Xu Fei thinks I can do it, I will try my best. At worst, I will be replaced again. Then I can really treat it as a deep role-playing game. And I played this game with Deng Qing, so I made a fortune."

"Director Xu, thank you for your appreciation! I will definitely work hard, but today's scene is so big, will there be some etiquette requirements? Should I learn them? I don't know much about these, who should I ask for advice? I really don't have any experience, and I hope you can give me more guidance and tolerance in the days to come." Zhuge Qinuo is very humble. She must be humble, after all, she is really a blank slate when it comes to filming.

"Yes, yes, yes. Deputy Wang, please make all the arrangements. Also, tell the extras to get ready. Everything is OK here, so we can continue filming today."

Then he said to Zhuge Qinuo, "You learn little by little. Don't be in a hurry. We will shoot little by little and edit it when we are good. Let's shoot Deng Qing's part first. Deng Qing is also very professional. It will probably take about an hour. You can learn from others later. It is estimated that we cannot complete the shooting task today, but we can try to make it up later."

"it is good."

As they were talking, the etiquette instructor had arrived. She helped Zhuge Qinuo to a cool empty room to teach her the etiquette in the play. Zhuge Qinuo's comprehension ability was of course very fast, so the atmosphere between the two was very relaxed, and they could even chat about the crew.

Zhuge Qinuo judged from her words that in everyone's mind, Xu Fei and Deng Qing were both honest people without airs. Many people with connections wanted to get this role, and the sick actress was such a person with connections. Xu Fei was actually not satisfied with her at first, and he had to give her face because of pressure from all sides, so he let her join the group.

No wonder Xu Fei was in a hurry to replace the actors as soon as the incident happened. He also seized the opportunity to replace the actors he didn't like with reasonable reasons. Zhuge Qinuo also had a certain understanding of the director's approach.

Time flies when it comes to gossip. Later, she was taken to the dressing room, where she completely changed out of the maid's clothes she had been wearing, put on new clothes, and put on makeup again, this time with the same hairstyle and hair accessories. In the meantime, someone brought the content to be filmed and asked Zhuge Qinuo to familiarize herself with it again.

The makeup is done. The hair accessories on her head are numerous and exquisite, and the clothes on her body are also more complicated and gorgeous.

When she was ready to go to the set, Deng Qing was still filming. He stood at the end of the tall stairs, looking from afar like a lonely soul eagerly waiting for a companion, enduring the loneliness of being at a high place, waiting for his lover to walk slowly with suppressed excitement, and looking forward to the future.

It was really good, Zhuge Qinuo secretly praised in his heart, the trophy for Best Actor was not wasted. Just standing there, without words, she expressed the character's mood vividly. At the same time, she seemed to have realized that filming does not require exaggerated expressions and body language. Compared with acting for the sake of acting, it seems better to express the real emotions and state after getting into the character and investing in the emotions.

Under the guidance of this idea, the scenes of the two people that were required to be filmed went more smoothly than everyone expected. Except for some very rigorous actions and some emotional adjustments, and a few pauses for scene switching and makeup touch-ups, the rest was basically done in one take.

It was not until then that I felt that I was simply a super talented actor who was bound by all kinds of emotions and suppressed by ordinary life.

Because the filming went smoothly, the two of them finished their scenes early. Xu Fei added another shooting task in the same scene. Because Zhuge Qinuo had no major problems with emotional expression and body language throughout the whole process, but she was really a layman and knew nothing about acting. Because her foundation was not bad and Xu Fei was a perfectionist, he decided to shoot some more scenes for her so that her performance in front of the camera would be more perfect.

So the last scene was reserved for Zhuge Qinuo. Deng Qing could have left, but he was still considerate enough to stay and act as a prop.

The scene with one person was the one where she walked towards Deng Qing, which corresponded to the scene where Deng Qing looked at her from a distance. There was not much language, just the various movements and expressions under the guidance of the director.

Deng Qing always appeared when she needed to look at the other person. Acting in front of the air is completely different from acting in front of a real person. Deng Qing's help gave Zhuge Qinuo a purpose for his expressions and movements in order to find the camera position, and made Zhuge Qinuo more natural.

Unexpectedly, today's final shooting progress was not delayed due to the sudden illness of the original actor. Instead, due to the appearance of Zhuge Qinuo, the shooting was completed early after completing the planned content and reshooting her scenes.

Before leaving, Deng Qing took the initiative to give Zhuge Qinuo his contact information - his phone number. The crew also asked for Zhuge Qinuo's contact information and arranged all the follow-up matters.

After the show, because the makeup was complicated and the hairstyle could not be removed, Zhuge Qinuo had to find a nearby hotel to stay in and make arrangements for the rest of his work after today's adventure.

After she left, in the director's studio...

"Why choose her? When did Director Xu become so casual?" Deng Qing finally asked Xu Fei the biggest question in her mind today.

"Didn't you agree too? Why did you agree? The movie emperor is not such a casual person." Xu Fei did not show any weakness and retorted with a smile.

"I'm serious." Deng Qing frowned.

"I'm serious too." Xu Fei replied.

"I asked first."

Two grown men bickering like children.

"Oh, at least three points. First, she has to be good-looking and photogenic. Come and see," Xu Fei said as he flipped through the earliest footage of Zhuge Qinuo as a palace maid in the camera. "Look, a palace maid is prettier than the master standing above. Look at her face, it's absolutely original and quite photogenic. You also know that lady, she looked like she had plastic surgery at first glance, I don't want her. Take a closer look at her, does she look like Zeng Huaqian?"

"Zeng Huaqian?" Deng Qing looked at the screen. "I do have some feelings for her. But your reason is a bit random."

"There is a second one." Xu Fei continued to point at the screen, "Second, temperament."

"Look here, she's standing among the extras. You know what, these extras are either trained in dance or have learned dance form since childhood. She's short, but look at her. She's very elegant and not inferior at all."

"And her temperament and uprightness are not forced, nor are they stiff like some dancers."

"Look at her performance. This is in the plot. Look at the feeling. She is nervous and cautious. Isn't she like a maid entering the palace for the first time? Look here, she is taking a break. Look at others. They are relaxed all of a sudden. She is doing very well. She has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. Anyway, in these scenes, I haven't seen anyone who fits the role better than her. Not to mention that she is much better than that lady."

Xu Fei explained everything to Deng Qing one by one, and at the same time reviewed his own decision.

"That's why I agreed. The temperament is indeed suitable." Deng Qing responded, "I'll also give it two words, magnetic field."

"The one I tried with her before, she was standing next to me, and it was quite natural. I could see she was a little nervous on camera before, and I don't know if she was acting or she was just nervous, but it was just right. The overall feeling was that she was from that era, or she was particularly suitable for period costumes."

"And you pulled back, it's official. After putting on makeup, it's not even necessary to say how smooth she was, her whole aura was on full display. She didn't deliberately do anything domineering, she just stood there. I also had a feeling standing next to her, it was done. I was really able to be drawn into her."

"Especially her eyes, which seem to be able to switch endlessly between being a little girl next door and looking down on the world."

Xu Fei agreed and immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I also want to say that her eyes are solemn, but not majestic. They are more gentle than strong. How should I put it? She just takes good advantage of you. Generally speaking..."

“Really listen, really look, really feel.”

The two said in unison.

"You haven't mentioned the third point yet." Deng Qing said with a smile.

Xu Fei: "Third, I always feel that this girl will bring some unexpected surprises."

Deng Qing: "So mysterious."

Xu Fei: "I have many years of experience."

Deng Qing: "Aren't you afraid that the relative will persuade you and the sponsor will withdraw the investment. Will we be unable to continue the filming? If you change people like this, a lot of people will come to trouble you."

Xu Fei: "The investment has been withdrawn, so you can fill the gap, Mr. Movie King. The person you like."

Deng Qing: "It's obviously you who chose it, director."

Somehow, their discussion slowly shifted from people to drama, and then became a very vague topic.
